When Poppypug Went Missing

Poor Poppy's had some 'pooter' probs.

And it is plain to see,

How very much she has been missed,

By all of you...and me!

Had she been eaten up by wolves?

Or back on the IC?

The mystery, went on and on

Where could Our Poppy be?

And then a message came at last

Our Poppy's doing fine.

She hasn't been kidnapped by bears

She's simply been off-line.

Oh Poppypug, we're glad you're back

No longer out of touch.

I think you know now, without a doubt,

We need you very much !

You are so welcome... don't forget you were the prime support for my starting and sticking on this running journey and kept me going throughout..

Joking apart, it has meant and continues to mean so much to me. x

Trapped in cyberspace? For some reason that reminded me of the end of Sapphire & Steel, when they are trapped for all eternity in the petrol station café... terrified me when I was a little 'un! Very glad you escaped! x

Hi TT ! Hope things are knitting together nicely :-)

Trapped in cyberspace makes me think of David Bowie's Space Oddity !

I remember Sapphire and Steel ! Never brave enough to have a " Purdy " though ! :-D xxx

Thank you....tee hee!

I am not sure everyone would agree with you...in fact I am sure they wouldn't, JaySee, but, it gives most of us a smile, and there can't be much wrong with that :)
